As you can see from our post’s heading this week, we have been learning about money.  We have been looking carefully at the coins all the way up to £2.  We did find this tricky at first but by Friday we were more confident.  We then moved on to adding up  the value of coins and were pleased that we could use our knowledge of adding to help us.  We will be continuing to learn more about money next week.  If you are at the shops why don’t you let your child help choose the coins to pay for the shopping and add up totals.  There is also a couple of money games on www.doorwayonline.org.uk which we have or will be using in class.

Staying with the theme of money we have been thinking about what to spend our Copper Challenge runners up prize money on.  We have £30 to spend.  If you have any ideas let us know. Some of our ideas have been craft materials, new books, jigsaws and a pet fish. Unfortunately we can not buy a swimming pool!

During reading this week we have been looking at non fiction books.  We have been looking at the contents page and how they look different from story books.  We will continue this next week .  I will collect in all of the reading books and chill books at the end of next week before the holiday.  If you have any of our reading books at home please, please return them.

Have a lovely weekend.
